History
Established in 1987.
Fiber Company began as a working studio in the early 1980s, before most of the shops and businesses currently located in the Arts District had opened. As downtown Winston Salem revived, Fiber Company opened the front gallery to the public to showcase many of our local artists' work along with the work of the studio partners.
Fiber Company maintains regular hours, with partners running the gallery, participating in craft fairs in the greater area and Fiber Company artists presenting workshops throughout the year.
